Jesus. Can't you go lower than one star?
'Famous Burgers' - As listed on the outside banner... Hmmmm. I smell a tourist trap. Not since the Oportos ' famous Bondi burger' have I seen such false burger advertising. When has 'Burgerlicious' ever been 'Famous'? Anywhere? Can someone please tell me?
When I think of 'famous', images of 'Madonna', 'Donald Trump', 'Marilyn Monroe', the bloody 'Great Wall of China' spring to mind... not, not, not, the terrible lackluster and bland burgers at 'Burgerlicious'...
The good: Nada. Nothing. Nil. Zero. Zilch.
The Bad: A heavily pregnant... I mean 'ready to drop' workmate walked the 2 kilometer trek from work to 'Burgerlicious' Newtown yesterday. We know its a tourist trap. She said, the lines were too long at 'Guzmen e Gomez'. When I heard what happened later I dropped to my knees and screamed out 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Just like an 80's buddy cop after his partner had been killed one day before retirement.
So the workmate goes into 'Burgerlicious' and orders a veggie burger. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, she waits about 10 minutes, after which is presented with a burger. She walks the two kilometers back to work only to find that the good staff had given her a dreaded meat burger... dum dum dum!
So, she gets a work mate to drive her back this time, speaks to some rude employee who hands her her original veggie burger that had been sitting there for at least 15 minutes. Then, they blame her for taking the wrong burger!
Wow! I'm amazed the staff didn't call the police and have her arrested for stealing a meat burger.
One furious work colleague rang up and spoke to a female employee who scoffed at his request to speak to the manager. The manager then picked up the phone and proceeded to again blame her for her hamburgerler ways... UNACCEPTABLE!
The ugly: I notice out of all the 'Burgerlicious' store's on Yelp, Newtown has the lowest rating. Now I know why. You want a good burger? Hit up Mary's on Mary Street, Newtown. Now that's 'Burgerlicious'.
Instead of contacting me and offering me or my work colleague to come back for one of their 'best', good ole 'Burgerlicious' has had this review taken down once citing that the review wasn't from my own experience. This is my experience as I have had the burgers there, and they are nothing special. Your move 'Burgerlicious'. read more
